Start Your Discovery Journey

A discovery session is like a free trial lesson but better! It’s a no-obligation 30 minute meet up time where your child gets to try an instrument, and you get to ask questions about our lesson options and teachers. It’s essentially a time to assess whether Marsman Music is a good fit for your family.

Music recitals twice a year

Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing. The best way for a parent to understand if their investment in lessons is really worth it, is to have their child participate in a recital.

Our optional recitals are low-stress and provide a great opportunity to share music with others, and to experience musical progress. In January and June many of our students choose to perform in our biannual recitals. We hold these at the Melville Presbyterian Church within minutes of Marsman.

A comfortable parent's lounge for our clients

For our individual lessons, instead of waiting in a music retail store showroom, our clients enjoy a waiting area with comfortable chairs, kids toys, magazines and free Wi-Fi. We also provide observation windows on every door so that you can watch your child’s lesson while you wait. Or if you prefer you can sit in on their lesson anytime you like.
